Brenda smiled when she entered her room. It had been a great day for the young girl in Ms. Chen's class. Her only regret was that she hadnt' thanked Jeanie for coming with her that day.
She muttered a bit under her breath as she laid her backpack down and threw herself onto her bed.
"I hope I see Jeanie again."
She sighed a bit.
"Close, but the right phrase is 'I wish to see Jeanie again.'"
Brenda nearly fell off her bed when she heard the voice behind her. She turned to see Jeanie standing near the window.
"Jeanie!" Brenda squeeked as she sat on the bed. "What are you doing here?"
Jeanie smirked as she sat next to Brenda. "Well, kiddo, my old master is gone, so I was looking for something to do. Then you came along. So I thought we might be able to have a little fun."
Brenda smiled. "You mean like, I'm your master now?"
Jeanie shook her head. "No way, my last one freed me. I'm not looking for a master, just something to do, if you have anything."
Brenda's hands began shaking as she looked ahead. "This is soooo cool! My very own genie! And you can do anything?"
Jeanie shook her head. "Not everything. There are a few rules. I can't kill anyone, I can't bring anyone back from the dead, and I can't cause two people to fall in love. But, apart from that, yeah, pretty much."
Brenda grinned and jumped up. "This will be so cool!"
